Behavior and Culture

Rainwings bask in the sun to help keep their colorful scales bright and vivid

Rainwings are collectivists by tradition, valuing collaboration, peaceful solutions, and shared responsibility

A Rainwing royal challenge is held as a contest between teams of six dragons

Rainwing parents orphan their eggs after they are laid, whilst the rest of the community helps to raise them

Rainwings take on a natural color based on their personality though their hue may slightly shift as they get older

Rainwing hatchlings start life with a lime green color since they havent fully matured with a personality. They don't have a natural color so they must wear accessories such as necklaces to tell them apart from other hatchlings

Rainwings have a natural connection with Sloths and keep them as pets, while their isnt an conclusive answer, Rainwings believe its because they resemble sloths with their long claws

Rainwings may also own anteaters but they are much harder to tame, so they are often kept by exterminators for termite problems

Rainwings run very slowly on land but fly as fast as any other tribe

Rainwings claimed the Leafwing Territory on Phyrria post Harmony exodus, and many Leafwing structures still exist in ruin. Before the return of the Tribe, Rainwings believed Leafwings were supernatural creatures known as Dryads

Rainforests, Chaparrals

Rainforest Kingdom

Canopy Heights (The Primary village of the Rainwing Tribe, made up of tree houses and wooden platforms)

Sunbeam Tree (the largest oldest tree in the kingdom, the most popular place for suntime)

Confluence Town (the secondary rainwing village along the coast of the Split dye Waters )

Split Dye Waters (A lake that intersects from the Mudwing River and the Tropical Tributary, notable for the two channels never mixing and bearing a "split" color)

Queen: Glory

You just know that the RainWings were exporting a CRAAZZZY amount of drugs before the other tribes stereotyped them as lazy.

One (or technically two) inconsistencies in WoF that always messed with me is that in Book 2 we learn Glory is afraid of the dark. Tsunami references that when the guardians took away torches as a punishment she would light up all her scales as bright as possible because, and I quote, "Glory hated the dark".

This is never brought up again, which is especially interesting because in Book 7 Winter notes how dark the rainforest is at night. He wonders if RainWings have night vision and mentions that no other tribes do--which is ALSO interesting because it's a well-known fact that SeaWings have night vision, so if Winter doesn't know that then it means IceWings have very very poor knowledge of the other tribes.
